Beauty favourites

John Frieda Frizz Ease 6 Effects Serum – Humidity here has played havoc with my hair for months, the thick nature of it hates the water. I read about this, tried it and it is ten times better, not perfect but not sure it could be in this level of humidity. Not Monica from Friends in Barbados anymore!

Essence The Gel Topcoat This is amazing. I had always used the Seche Vite topcoat until my friend recommended this. It is the same but cheaper. Dries nails quick, makes them last much longer and gives a brilliant shine.

Book favourites

As always I am loving reading. Got the usual 5+ books on the go, dipping in and out depending on my mood. So lots of books to talk about but these are my 3 faves, see the links for the reviews. Body Positive Power is too new, will review in November.

Music favourites

This month it’s mainly about the girls. Moments of mellow mixed with more upbeat funky tunes. I added in one of my Spotify daily lists, Spotify nailed it, those pesky algorithms.

Låpsley– I am obsessed with the voice, the sound and the songs. Love!

Jorja Smith – A stunning voice that reminds me of Janelle Monáe, a young Corrine Bailey Rae and Amy Winehouse.

Kesha– Another spectacular voice and lyrics that feel epic and of the moment.

New Beauty Buys

And finally what gems did I buy this month… Shock more Innis Free. Whilst I’m living here I figure I may as well enjoy the budget, but brilliant skin care. Oh and they give you freebies if you have a card – win win.

I also had a great time in Sephora. Buying 3CE lip tint, and lusting over lots of other stylish makeup and the infamous BB cream. And the Fenty for the face papers, the foundation is on my list.
